Chefs, come one come all....

If you like to cook or you like to create or you like to EAT, this is for you....

I have noticed lately a number of different protein pancake recipes have been floating around. W8, Gopro, Lina, and probably others have all posted one. I thought I'd propose a challenge. Who can devise the "BEST" protein pancake. Since its my challenge I make the rules.

Working backwards:

How do you win? The entrant who has the most points after five votes have been cast.

Who may enter? Anyone who has or devises a recipe.

Who votes? Anyone who makes and eats EVERY recipe, and who promises to utilize the listed criteria when voting. Entrants may vote, they just may not vote for there own recipe (indeed, entrants are expected to vote).

The scoring system. Every voter must try all and rate all based on the following factors:

A. Ease (1-10) -- five is "damn that was easy to make" and one is "I'll never attempt that again!"

B. "Protein Density" (1-8) -- 8 is "50 grams of protein and no carbs and no fat? don't know how..."); points are reduced for extra fat and especially carbs (except fiber); the key is the % of protein to total calories; 1 is "that's bisquick for g-dsake!")

C. Taste (1-6) -- 6 is "MMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmm!!!!" and a 1 is "holy crap that was vile!"

That's it. Score the total, so the max is 24 per person. Once 5 people have voted we total the points for a max of 120. If this becomes very popular we can permit more voters. Remember each voter must rate EVERY recipe. If there is a sham recipe I will declare it invalid (i.e. someone adds a recipe that truly will take hours...its a pancake after all....) and you won't need to try it. Also, no copying/altering other people recipes, I am the judge on this one and will be strictly enforced.

No prepacked mixes (e.g. lifeservices make a pretty good pancake, not allowed) though a "bake mix" (i.e. flour substitute) is allowed.

Please note that the scoring is weighted, intentionally.

Entrants you have until NEXT Tuesday (that's the 28th) to post the recipe. I hope this garners enough of an interest, if not I just wasted 15 minutes! That would suck.
 
Doesn't anyone care about pancakes???
 
This sounds interesting! I'll make a recipe, but I'm voting cause I don't want to try the recipes.
 
did you mean not voting? fair enough, I want your entry! (hell no one else seems interested....)
 
Yeah, I just got back to a decent diet, I don't wanna blow it by eating pancakes :p Butt I'll add a recipe soon :D

I'm gonna move it to nutrition to give it more exposure....butt, if no one else wants to join us, THEN WE WON'T SHARE OUR AWESOME RECIPES :p
 
but then you have to at least try mine too!
 
under 2 grams carbs? really? are you 2 just teasing?
 
nope, its the challenge!

(and its "effective carbs" -- i.e. total carbs minus fiber)
 
If you guys can come up with pancakes under 2 carbs..that taste good you will become my savior! seriously-under 2 carbs- no way...
 
I am sure willing to try them all and vote, but you people DO NOT want me to come up with a cooking recipe. :D

Oh by the way, the kitchen is the room with the microwave in it, right :D
 
I dunno...but this is going to be a danger zone for me on my diet if I'm going to be concocting recipes and having to try them...

...but it might be worth it if there is a prize....

What is it TP? ...This challenge needs a prize too... :)

maybe then it'll be worth it.... :D

Are we supposed to post our recipes now? :D

Yes, here is my first entry:

1/4 cup Atkin's bake mix
1/4 cup soy protein
2 egg whites
1/2 cup water or seltzer
1 Tbl wheat gluten
1 tsp sweet and low (regular or brown)
1/2 tsp baking powder

mix together and add water until mix is fairly runny (too thick and the inside won't cook).

Makes three servings of 3-4 pancakes. Each serving has:
20 grams protein
1 gram fat
1.3 grams effective carbs (plus 1.3 grams fiber)

These are average tasting but healthy as can be. Too add to the taste add 2 tablespoons of wheat germ which will add 2 grams of protein and 1.3 effective carbs per serving. Adding oats will significantly improve the taste and significantly increase the carbs.

Though you can't rate your own officially my unofficial rating would be:

A. Ease -- 6.5/10

B. "Protein Density" -- 7/8

C. Taste 3/6

For a total of 16.5 of 24.

You can make them easier by eliminating the wheat gluten adn baking powder too.

I am working on a non-atkins mix based pancake as we speak....
 
Okay, my first entry:

In a food processor mix:

3 egg whites 49 kcals, 0 fat, 1 carb, 10 pro
1 scoop of strawberry whey protein (Sci-fit & Sportpharma are great) 114 kcals, 2 fat, 3 carb, 22 pro
1/8 cup ground flax seeds 68 kcals, 7 fat, 4 carb, 4fibre, 3 pro
1 tbsp Wheat Gluten 33 kcals, 0 fat, 3 carb, .3 fibre, 5 pro
1/2 tsp baking powder

Mix and stir each time before pouring onto pan as the flax settles to the bottom:

Total: 264 kcals, 9 fat, 6.7 effective carbs, 40 protein.

:D

I counted the carbs in the protein sources....did you?
 
OK, on her second line w8 went from a 10 on ease to a 1. Food processor, I don't have one of those. :(

I do have a wisk though, can I use that. :thumb:

Wisk away :thumb:
 
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM? I WILL TRY THEM.. just gotta get to the grocery store/ nutrition store for some ingredients! :) will let you guys know the verdict in a few days!
 
Yes I counted the protein sources!!! My soy doesn't have any carbs and I don't think egg whites do either.

I mixed mine by fork, but a blender or processor would work well too.
